Last Saturday, February 23rd, the
Curacao Sport and Olympic Federation (FDOK) had its annual event, in which they
praise athletes, officials and sport administrators to highlight their
achievements during 2018. These selected groups are appointed by their
associations and nominated by FDOK. Ulrich “Pel” Hernandez has been nominated
as official 2018.

Ulrich “Pel” Hernandez is an umpire, who
had several international performances during 2018. He was nominated as
official in Italy, Spain, Belgium and Holland. In June he passed his IITF exam
as International Umpire in Oslo Norway. He is barely the 14th IU of
the whole Latin America and the 2nd of the Caribbean Region.
Although he had not been proclaimed as the Official of the year 2019, it should
be said that he was not far off.
